A short information ! all my pictures are gone .... looks like it's an issue with the hosting service
i hope it will come back but when not i will re upload all again
i have upload a few pictures on the 4th page
Hi i'm jonas from Switzerland
I would like to introduce my Project here to improve my english
my plan is to build up the truck to make a world trip with it
my choise are a Saurer 2dm Army Truck from 1968
I would like to tell a bit of this Truck
It's a Truck With Permanent Fourwheeldrive made in switzerland from the saurer Company
but this Company does not exist anymore ... the trucks was to expensive becaus high Quality build
it has a 8.1 L 6 cyl Diesel engine direct injection with 135 HP the engine is complete made of aluminium except the cylinder head made of cast iron
a 4 speed Synchromesh transmission with a fast Group and a normal Group so it is actually a 8 speed
a lockable transfere case with low range and a outlet for a mechanical winch
the rear axle has also a locker
the body consists of different materials ! back and roof consits of fiberglass, the Hood is made of aluminium and the front Fenders also made of fiberglass
i bought two trucks
one for the trip and one for parts
the first Thing i've did was Strip down the old bed
the bed has got new Wood panels
i change the bed because the one with the bed was a Little bit smoky and my choise for the Expedition truck was the left one ( viewed from the front ) he has the better contition with no rust ect.
now i took the gas tank from the other truck to this one
now he has dual tanks and new stainless steel tank holders
i hope it will come back but when not i will re upload all again
